I went to the coffee shop and mentioned to the Barista that I was having a writing problem. 

“How do you mean?” 

“I should get about 1,000 words written before coming out for coffee. But you’ll likely be closed by then.”

She nodded thoughtfully, while brewing my Cappuccino. 

Then, she bought my coffee over. 

“I was thinking, you could go to the cafe up the road after you’ve written enough words.”

I recoiled in horror. 

She looked puzzled.

“NO writer ever goes there.”

“Why?”

“Have you seen what that area is called?

She shook her head. 

“It’s called ‘Writers Block’.”
